I have a date tomorrow night & she insists on paying, I still don't know how to deal with that one, but like I said these are diffferent times


Better not wear that towel.

Did she ask you? Haven't you dated much before?






No I won't wear the towellaugh & yes I've been on several dates, yes she did ask me, I just have a hang up about her payingscared


If it bothers you that much and you are comfortable talking about it, tell her.flowerforyou





I did & she insists, I'll just go with the flow:smile: ( maybe I'll say I have to go to the bathroom & pay the waiter on the way)laugh laugh


She insists? Hmmm...could it have something to do with trying to make you feel better about Friday?

I'm out of the loop. Don't know what happened Friday (unless it your job thing..which I'm sorry to hear about). Maybe bring her a little flower or something if she insists on paying. Let her know you appreciate the thought.

Call me old fashion but I think the man should always pay when going out on a date...am I wrong to think this? I have heard sooo many guys say they feel less like a man when a woman pays...is this true?


i wouldn't say always. in fact, i'd probably feel quite uncomfortable if i never got a turn to treat.

i don't really keep count, but if it's casual dating, i'd say it should try to be kept fairly even.

I've always felt whomever was in the better finacial position paid. If you both have it then it's up for grabs.
I feel I'll get it back eventually in one form or another.

Me paying every so often also doesn't make it feel so much like I'm being bought...It's a big hangup of mine..I owe no man anything on any level.

no way do I think a man should 'always' pay for a date....that is so wrong I think...

think of it this way (ladies)...

Let's say you meet someone and hit it off and there is a date planned...when there you discover this person (who is still basically a stranger to your life) insists on you paying for everything you do...How would that make you feel ?

It's disrespectful, period, in my opinion, to expect another person to "ALWAYS" pay for everything, either way. If two people start a relationship and truly respect one another it's really no problem at all to take turns paying for things done together. That shows mutual respect, and that's needed to have a great relationship.

Maybe I am too independent-minded, but I do not think I am -- ...opening doors, being gentlemen is a great thing -- just do not understand the role that's been placed on men to take care of paying for everything too.

I pretty much always pay for dinner. I don't expect the little lady to offer to pay up in the least.

The only way I'd let her pay for dinner would be if she asked ME out to dinner and said right up front that she'd be payin'. And I'd probably still offer to pay, just the same.

I don't think a man needs to pay all the time. If he's really going to insist on paying, I'm not going to stop him. But, there's no need to do so every single time.

i would never feel less like a man if she were to insist on paying...but i would also never expect a woman pay on a date at anytime.....i would be taking my woman out

but it wouldn't make me lose any masculinity at all if she fought me for the check and i lost....it has happened

however, i don't date princesses that EXPECT you to pay for everything that they want and EXPECT you to do this and that...i will do it as long as you don't expect me to

So the rule for relationships is to take turns? Guess my ex never got the memo
